Well, I'm pretty sure America is fucked since they're practically not testing for the virus nor doing anything to contain it.

Although these rumors have proven false so far, I wonder if this has already happened somewhere on Earth, and will a 3rd world country panic at some point and execute virus patients out of fear?

Also, what risk is there from infected corpses?  I can't find any info yet on that risk, but Iran is covering their corpses in calcium oxide to prevent infecting the soil:

Projections from American Hospital Association. I've seen similar projections elsewhere. We could be looking at an historic disaster made far worse by the blunders of Trump. Potentially ~500K deaths, all hospital beds in American occupied by April/May. Another admin could not have prevented the outbreak but it seems likely a clear-headed response could have bent the curve.

By the way, the testing blunders are unforgivable. This is a simply assay with simple reagents. Any undergrad with a day of in-lab training could do it and plow through hundreds of samples per day.

My Mum has had cancer twice, fuck all lymph nodes left, so she can’t even have a minor op that’s needed currently. Non-intrusive approach. An olde mate is hiv+ and after all the shit he’s experienced during the long road in recovery, gene therapy etc, this would be the cruelest of ironies. A shopping trolley full of bog roll ain’t gonna help, that’s for sure.
